Linux: Dlp2000

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPDLCR2000EVM

Tool/software: Linux

Hello. I uset the Debian 8.9,  and updated as the instructions told. But im missing the DLPDLCR2000 driver file.  The device/bone/capes folders are missing too

  • i reinstalled the image on another sd card and now the drivers apear in the folder as it should. and i installed it without any problems, 

    i use beaglebone black wireles,

    when i plug light cracter direct ti 5 v power it lights up

    when i put it on the bbb it wont start unles i write the 4 lines

    >sudo su

    echo 48>  /sys/class/gpio/direction and so on, pin 15/gpio_48 needs to bi high as i understand. and then it lights up fine with the test screen, until restart, then i need to type the codes in the terminal again to light up test screen, how can i avoid that

    when i try the aquarium test, it looks fine on the 10"inch monitor but the image is wery blurry on the projector and i can see the mouse cursor dublicated in some kind of pattern

    i realy hope you can help me i have been fighting with this for over a week

  • Hello Martin,

    Welcome to e2e forum and Thanks for showing your interest in DLP Technology.

    Please have a look at this thread if it might help you : e2e.ti.com/.../663939

    Our expert will get back to you with more information very soon, if required.

    Thanks,

  • thanks but i cant figure out how to install the 2 files that i downloaded at the link, and as i understand, do they only describe what it is and how it works. cant find a program to load the files or infomation hvo to put them on the bbbw
  • Martin,

    Of the two files included in the thread above, the only one you need for your current issue is the .dts file, which is a cape overlay configuration for the EVM. The two links at the bottom of the thread give some information on how to install it to your system:

    github.com/.../bb.org-overlays
    cdn-learn.adafruit.com/.../introduction-to-the-beaglebone-black-device-tree.pdf

    In particular, the adafruit tutorial shows how to compile the .dts file into a .dtbo. Once the file is compiled, you need to go to the github repository that you will have cloned to your BBBW, and add the .dtbo file to the cape overlay folder. You can then install the .dtbo using the instructions provided in the github folder.

    Alternatively, you can just use a bash command to load the .dtbo file directly to your system instead of installing it. The tradeoff is you will need to load the .dtbo each time you reboot.

    Let me know if you need further elaboration on a particular step. I hope this helps.

    Best Regards,
    Philippe Dollo
  • im running windows (Linux beginner), and i still dont get how to put the file on the beaglebone black for the to compile it
  • Martin,

    To transfer files between a PC (Windows) and BBB, there are various FTP applications you can use to transfer over USB. This tutorial gives an example method of doing this:

    For further information on BeagleBone usage (outside of using the DLPDLCR2000EVM cape), you can also try the BeagleBoard.org community, which will have a wider array of BeagleBone experts:
    beagleboard.org/discuss

    I hope this helps.
